  The amendment (No. 3185) was agreed to.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote.
  Mr. REID. I move to lay that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, in the presence of the assistant 
Democratic leader, I ask unanimous consent that, with the exception of 
the Byrd amendment on bilateral trade, which will be disposed of this 
evening, votes occur on the other amendments listed in that order 
beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 13, 2000.
  I further ask unanimous consent that, upon final passage of H.R. 
4205, the Senate amendment, be printed as passed.
  I further ask unanimous consent that, following disposition of H.R. 
4205 and the appointment of conferees the Senate proceed immediately to 
the consideration en bloc of S. 2550, S. 2551, and S. 2552, Calendar 
Order Nos. 544, 545, and 546; that all after the enacting clause of 
these bills be stricken and that the appropriate portion of S. 2549, as 
amended, be inserted in lieu thereof, as follows:
  S. 2550: Insert Division A of S. 2549, as passed;
  S. 2551: Insert Division B of S. 2549, as passed;
  S. 2552: Insert Division C of S. 2549, as passed; that these bills be 
advanced to third reading and passed; that the motion to reconsider en 
bloc be laid upon the table; and that the above actions occur without 
intervening action or debate.
  Finally, I ask unanimous consent with respect to S. 2549, S. 2550, S. 
2551, and S. 2552, as just passed by the Senate, that if the Senate 
receives a message with respect to any of these bills from the House of 
Representatives, the Senate disagree with the House on its amendment or 
amendments to the Senate-passed bill and agree to or request a 
conference, as appropriate, with the House on the disagreeing votes of 
the two houses; that the Chair be authorized to appoint conferees; and 
that the foregoing occur without any intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, it is my further 
understanding that there are remaining four votes that are going to be 
needed, and they are on amendments by Senators Feingold, Durbin, 
Harkin, and Kerry of Massachusetts.
  Mr. GORTON. I believe the Senator is correct.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
